Right, this is nothing to do with the list of example configurations and
everything to do with the fact that those options are just not supported
by the hardware.  For example, 256fs for 8kHz is only 2.048MHz and even
the largest postscale divider of 24 can't get anywhere near that from
90MHz which is the minimum Fvco for the PLL.

Part of the issue here is that my review is in part based on the
comments.  If the code (including comments) seems obviously incorrect
from reading then that's an issue in itself.
